Flood toy for Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale flood toy and water map

Use this Fort Lauderdale, Florida flood toy to inspect the New River, Intracoastal Waterway, and low-lying canal neighborhoods. The page opens directly on Fort Lauderdale instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Fort Lauderdale-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around the New River, Intracoastal Waterway, and low-lying canal neighborhoods.
• Start with a 3.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Fort Lauderdale scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Fort Lauderdale map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use the slider to raise the water and compare milder or more extreme scenarios.
3. Click a specific point on the map for a location-based risk sample, then copy the permalink if you want the same view later.

Model notes

Fort Lauderdale is threaded with canals and sits on flat coastal ground, making tidal and storm surge flooding especially relevant across broad swaths of the city. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
